The Test with Mike Blackmore and Neil Swift

Send us Fan MailI got the chance to walk and fish an amazing piece of water at Mottisfont on the famous Test in Hampshire.Mike and Neil tell me about their policy towards the water and what they have done to improve the habitat for the wildlife and fish there.It is a really interesting story and as they get ready to offer the fishing on a day ticket basis in 2026 I hear about how they plan to make it available for a wide range of people to use and enjoy at a price that suits just about every pocket.Mike and Neil are good people doing something that is a little ground-breaking for this part of the world and I applaud them for it.The mayfly had started hatching and we managed to find a few rising trout.Learn more about the fishing below.https://www.wessexrt.org.uk/ChalkStreamExperience.html
